What does that have to do with anything with this thread? Stay on topic, please.

Whether or not I'm a dad is none of your business nor is it any concern of yours whether or not I decide to keep my children out of the BSA for teaching discrimination.

You do understand that not everyone falls under the tenants of religion, yes? That being said what does your god have to do with MY secular government?

Also, considering I'm agnostic, what gives you the right to attempt to force me to follow your religious rules? I don't believe in your god, so the whole "it's a sin" thing is going in one ear and out the other.

Try coming up with a secular argument - you'll have more success that way.

What gives you or anyone right to force your "beliefs" and your sexually "different" child, onto anyone else?

Why should people or organizations have to throw away their values for an EXTREME minority?

It seems as if the pro gay people are saying
"FORGET YOUR VALES."
"OURS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT MATTER."

An extreme minority? There are more open gays than Jews and Muslims combined. Open gays are about the same percentage of the population as Asians. If you factor in closeted gays and bisexuals, you're looking at a larger segment of the population than blacks.

I'm not forcing anything on my child...because I don't have one nor am I forcing my beliefs onto anyone else.

Why would you throw away your values for anything? If you throw them away, were they really that valuable?

Funny how you can replace "pro gay people" with "pro religious people" and it'll have the same meaning.

What if it's just something that people fundamentally disagree with. Maybe it's something that some feel is unnatural and immoral? Not necessarily a "religious thing".
Funny how you people keep bringing up religion. It you don't believe in god. bla blah blah. Good for you that's your right. You don't have to bring it up like you are a teen, playing on the internet when mommies not home.

You seem to be whining and crying a lot. I wonder why that is? Do you have something against equality in America? Do you forget that we live in the home of the free and not the home of free if you meet the requisites?

People who think that are not well educated or very bright. For starters, they haven't the foggiest clue what the word "unnatural" means.

I think people have a idea of whats natural and whats not. Certain people choose to twist the definition though.

Can two Males make a child?
Can a Man give birth?

Comparisons to animals begin in...3..2...1...

What does making babies have to do with a sexual orientation being natural? I'm not going to bring up animals (even though it would be relevant), but I am going to suggest you pick up a biology book.
